Tinder's video feature launches globally. It's The Daily Crunch.

THE DAILY CRUNCH
THURSDAY, JULY 5 2018 By Anthony Ha

Tinder's video feature goes global, Europe's controversial copyright bill hits a speed bump and we wrap up this year's Bag Week. Here's your Daily Crunch for July 5, 2018.

1. Tinder Loops, the dating app's new video feature, rolls out globally

Loops are two-second looping videos that can be included on users' profiles. Tinder has been testing them in Canada and Sweden since April, with a few markets added since then, ahead of today's big launch.

So if you're a Tinder user, is it time to add a Loop? Well, the company says that in Japan (where the feature has been most effective thus far) users have received an average of 10 percent more right swipes if they have a Loop in their profile.

2. European MEPs vote to reopen copyright debate over 'censorship' controversy

The copyright reform proposal has been controversial thanks in large part to Article 13, which makes Internet platforms directly liable for copyright infringements by their users. It would probably push platforms such as YouTube towards pre-filtering all user generated content at the point of upload.

3. TiVo CEO leaves to join Liberty Global as CTO after less than a year with the DVR maker

Formerly known as Rovi but rebranded after it acquired the DVR maker in 2016 for $1.1 billion, TiVo has been exploring strategic alternatives (like going private or selling itself) since February.

4. Here are the 16 best computer bags TechCrunch reviewed in Bag Week 2018

We featured waxed canvas bags, camera backpacks, trail-ready commuter bags and bags designed with women in mind. Here's a round-up.

5. China VC has overtaken Silicon Valley, but do aggregate numbers tell the whole story?

With half of the year now complete, China is driving ahead of Silicon Valley and the rest of the United States on venture capital dollars invested into startups, according to a number of data sources including Crunchbase, China Money Network and Pitchbook.

6. California's new online cancellation law benefits many disgruntled subscribers in other places, too

Since the bill covers all services that have paying customers in the state, it should also benefit dissatisfied customers in many places outside California.

7. Deliveroo opens its first shared kitchen in Paris

Deliveroo kitchens can be a good compromise for business owners — before fully committing to launching a new restaurant, you can hire a handful of people and see if there's enough demand in the area.
